AIMS: Identification of the bacteriocin produced by Enterococcus mundtii QU 2 newly isolated from soybean and fermentative production of the bacteriocin. METHODS AND RESULTS: The bacteriocin produced by Ent. mundtii QU 2 inhibited the growth of various indicator strains, including Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus and Listeria. The bacteriocin activity was stable at wide pH range and against heat treatment, but completely abolished by proteolytic enzymes. The bacteriocin was purified from the culture supernatant by the three-step chromatographic procedure. Mass spectrometry, amino acid sequencing and DNA sequencing revealed that the bacteriocin was similar to class IIa bacteriocins produced by other Ent. mundtii strains. The bacteriocin production decreased in the absence of glucose, nitrogen sources, or Tween 80 in MRS medium. Additionally, it was strongly suppressed by addition of Ca(2+) (CaCO(3) or CaCl(2)). In pH-controlled fermentations, the highest bacteriocin production was achieved at pH 6.0, whereas the highest cell growth was obtained at pH 7.0. CONCLUSIONS: Ent. mundtii QU 2 produced a class IIa bacteriocin. Some growth factors (e.g. Ca(2+) and pH) influenced the bacteriocin production. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: A new soybean isolate, Ent. mundtii QU 2 was found to be a class IIa bacteriocin producer. Factors influencing the bacteriocin production described herein are valuable for applications of the bacteriocins from Ent. mundtii strains. 相似文献

Striking differences in the production of specific inhibitory agents affecting other strains of the same (or of related) species
were found between genera of the family Enterobacteriaceae. We tested 50–163 strains each of the potentially pathogenic genera:
Escherichia, Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Kluyvera, and Leclercia for their ability to produce bacteriophages, high-molecular-weight (HMW) and low-molecular-weight (LMW) bacteriocins and
siderophores against the same sets of strains, using the cross-test method. The genus Escherichia differs substantially from all other Enterobacteriaceae, harboring a notable proportion of lysogenic (36.6%) and colicinogenic
(13.9%) strains. Only 18.2% of the Citrobacter strains are lysogenic and only rarely are they colicinogenic, although in 7.3%, they produce phage tail-like bacteriocins.
On the other hand, Kluyvera strains were only in 1.8% lysogenic, no colicinogenic strains were found, but in 7.3%, they produced siderophores causing
zones of growth inhibition in agar cultures of strains of the same genus. In Leclercia, 10.0% of the strains were lysogenic, 2.0% produced HMW bacteriocins, no colicinogenic strains were found and 2.0% produced
siderophores. Enterobacter has shown 23.1% of strains producing siderophores, whereas merely 7.7% were lysogenic, 1.9% colicinogenic and 3.8% formed
phage tail-like bacteriocins. HMW bacteriocins of Enterobacter strains disposed of an unusually wide spectrum of activity. The siderophore activity spectrum was rather wide in any genus,
but the siderophores were usually not produced by strains producing phages or colicins. 相似文献

The influence of growth parameters on the production of bacteriocins (aureocins) by five strains of Staphylococcus aureus was investigated. These aureocins have a broad spectrum of activity and can inhibit important human and animal pathogens. All strains produced large inhibition zones upon the indicator strain when they were grown in rich media such as brain-heart infusion (BHI), N2GT and 2 × YT. Bacteriocin production was not influenced by the initial pH of the medium (6.0–8.0). At lower temperature (28 °C), there was a marked reduction in bacteriocin production. Incubation of the producers under anaerobiosis affected profoundly the production of two related bacteriocins, aureocins MB92 and 146L, and slightly increased the production of aureocins A53 and 215FN. Production of aureocins MB92 and 215FN was apparently abolished in media containing 2.5 g and 3.5 g Nacl/100 ml, respectively. Although production of the remaining aureocins was observed in all NaCl concentrations tested (0.5–7.5 g/100 ml), the larger inhibition zones were detected in media containing up to either 1.5 g (for aureocins A70 and 146L) or 2.5 g NaCl/100 ml (for aureocin A53). Aureocin 215FN could not be detected in the culture supernatant. For the remaining aureocins tested, the highest levels of bacteriocin production occurred in either the late-log or early stationary growth phase of cultures grown in BHI medium at 37 °C. Changes in environmental conditions can, therefore, have detrimental effects on the production of active aureocins. Such factors are relevant when considering the potential biotechnological applications of these substances and when testing new S. aureus isolates for bacteriocin production. 相似文献

Leuconostoc mesenteroides L124 and Lactobacillus curvatus L442, isolated from dry fermented sausages, produce bacteriocins antagonistic towards closely related species and pathogens, such as Listeria monocytogenes. The bacteriocins were inactivated by proteolytic enzymes and lipase but not by catalase and lysozyme. They were also heat stable, retaining activity after heating at 100 °C for 60 min. The bacteriocins were stable at pH values ranging from 2.0 to 8.0. Bacteriocin production was observed at low temperatures (10 and 4 °C) and in meat juice. The maximum bacteriocin activity was observed at the end of the exponential growth phase. The bacteriocins were produced in media with initial pH values ranging from 5.0 to 7.5, but not in media with a pH lower than 5.0 (weak bacteriocin activity of the antibacterial compound produced by Ln. mesenteroides L124 was observed at pH 4.5). Both bacteriocins exhibited strong bactericidal activity following cell/bacteriocin contact. 相似文献

A new method for comparing and differentiating strains of S. marcescens is described which has proved useful in determining the epidemiology of hospital infections. Strains were grown in Trypticase soy broth, and bacteriocin production was induced with mitomycin C for 5 hr. The bacteriocin lysates were then spotted onto nine standard indicator strains, which were chosen with the aid of computer analysis from the 118 indicators tested. After 24 hr at 37 C, zones of inhibition due to bacteriocins were recorded. One hundred twentynine strains were differentiated into 72 different bacteriocin production patterns, but 11 strains were nontypable. None of the 45 other strains of Enterobacteriaceae produced bacteriocins. Bacteriocin production was a stable epidemiological marker. Colonial mutants always had identical patterns, as did the same strain which has passed from patient to patient through cross-infection. The new technique does not require any specialized equipment and can be used in laboratories with limited budgets. The applications of the new method in cross-infection studies and as a supplement to serological typing are discussed. 相似文献

Mesenterocin 52, a bacteriocin produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. mesenteroides FR 52 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

F. MATHIEU, I.S. SUWANDHI, N. REKHIF, J.B. MILLIERE AND G. LEFEBVRE. 1993. One hundred and sixty-five isolates of Leuconostoc spp. were tested for bacteriocin production. Only one strain, Leuc. mesenteroides ssp. mesenteroides FR 52, isolated from a raw milk, produced a bacteriocin which was named Mesenterocin 52. This bacteriocin inhibited other Leuconostoc strains and several strains of Enterococcus and Listeria spp. No activity was found against lactococci and lactobacilli. The antibacterial spectrum differed from that of previously described Leuconostoc bacteriocins. Mesenterocin 52 was secreted into the medium during the growth phase. It was inactivated with protease treatments. At pH 7.0 it had a relative stability after heating at 100C (15 min), but it had a greater stability at pH 4.5 than at pH 7.0 after 6 h at 80C. The apparent molecular mass was estimated to be less than 10 kDa by ultrafiltration. Mesenterocin 52 showed a bactericidal effect on Leuconostoc paramesenteroides DSM 20288. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of complex nutrients on microbial growth and bacteriocin production, in order to improve bacteriocin synthesis during the growth cycle of Leuconostoc mesenteroides L124 and Lactobacillus curvatus L442. The fermentations were conducted at the optimum pH and temperature for bacteriocin production (pH 5.5+/-0.1 and temperature 25+/-0.1 degrees C). Because of their association with the final biomass, conditions favouring the increase of the produced biomass resulted in the increase of bacteriocin activity in the growth medium. Since the produced final biomass and the final concentration of the bacteriocins were associated with the amount of the carbon (glucose) and nitrogen source, better growth of the lactic acid bacterial strains favoured the increase of the specific bacteriocin production. Additionally, the bacteriocin production was influenced by carbon/nitrogen ratio. 相似文献

The majority (85% of all strains tested) of 12 phytopathogenic Corynebacterium species produced bacteriocin(s) on nutrient broth--yeast extract (NBY) medium. All C. nebraskense, C. michiganense, C. insidiosum, C. oortii, and C. iranicum strains produced bacteriocin(s). The optimal conditions for production of 23 distinct bacteriocins by eight species of Corynebacterium generally were 20 degrees C and 4 days of incubation on NBY or on modified Burkholder's agar that lacked peptone (MBAL). Production in liquid was marginal and not augmented by adding mitomycin C. Bacteriocins generally had little effect on other strains within a species but were inhibitory to other species. Most bacteriocins appeared to be bactericidal proteins resistant to heat (75 to 80 degrees C, 30 min) but sensitive to proteolytic enzymes. Some strains of C. nebraskense, C. michiganense, C. insidiosum, and C. flaccumfaciens produced two bacteriocins which were clearly differentiated by varying or testing one or more of the following: conditions for production, the indicator, heat stability, and susceptibility to proteolysis. Within certain limitations, a convenient and reproducible typing scheme was devised for strain and species differentiation of most phytopathogenic corynebacteria. 相似文献

The culture filtrate of group H streptococcus strain Challis produced a competence factor (CF) for bacterial transformation as well as a bactericidal factor(s) against Wicky cells. Strain 36658, in the same streptococcal group, also produced the bactericidal factor(s) but not CF. The effect of the Challis bacteriocin was limited to strains Wicky and 58, whereas the 36658 bacteriocin affected 67% of 49 strains tested. Strain 58, one of the indicator strains, was affected by the bactericidal activity of these bacteriocins but not by CF activity, and failed to transform. No relationship between the bacteriocin-producing strains and indicator strains was observed. Both Challis and 36658 bacteriocin activities decreased markedly either when the bacteriocins were heated at 50 C for 30 min or with the addition of a protein synthesis inhibitor, but showed different sensitivities to trypsin, papain and lipase. The bacteriocins were of at least protein nature and their molecular weight was roughly estimated as 100,000 daltons by membrane filtration experiments. The 36658 bacteriocin is a new type of streptocin previously not reported. The possible absence of bacteriophage or phage-like particles in the preparations is discussed. 相似文献

Few studies have been published on the effects of two bacteriocins combinations and particularly on combinations of two bacteriocins with different structures produced by the same strain. In this work, the actions of mesenterocin 52A (class IIa) and mesenterocin 52B (class II), produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides FR 52, were studied on strains susceptible to only one bacteriocin or to both. In broth, combination of mesenterocins enhanced the adaptation time of the strain susceptible to the both mesenterocins (48 h vs 17 h with only one bacteriocin). In agar medium, mesenterocins displayed, as expected, a synergistic effect on this strain (FICindex < 1), but also on the two strains susceptible to only one mesenterocin. This original result was probably due to membrane composition modifications induced by the mesenterocin that enhanced bacteriocin action. Thus, this hurdle technique seems to be interesting in food preservation in terms of minimizing bacteriocin concentrations. 相似文献

Characteristics of a Bacteriocin Derived from Streptococcus faecalis var. zymogenes Antagonistic to Diplococcus peumoniae 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A bacteriocin-producing strain of Streptococcus faecalis var. zymogenes (E-1) was isolated from clinical material (conjunctiva). The active substance differed from bacteriocins described by other investigators primarily in its spectrum of antibacterial activity, especially by its marked inhibition of Diplococcus pneumoniae. The E-1 bacteriocin also inhibited nonhemolytic strains of enterococci as well as one-third of the Viridans group of streptococcal strains investigated. The degree of inhibition, however, as indicated by the size of the zones against the latter organisms, was significantly reduced. No activity was detected against any of the strains belonging to the following groups of bacteria: hemolytic enterococci, beta-hemolytic streptococci, nonhemolytic streptococci, staphylococci, and various gram-negative species. Similarly, three strains each of Bacillus cereus and Listeria monocytogenes and one strain of Erysipelothrix insidiosa were not inhibited. The bacteriocin was able to diffuse through bacterial membranes as well as cellulose dialyzer tubing. It was inactivated by heating to 80 C for 20 min but resisted inactivation by either trypsin or chloroform. 相似文献

Some properties of Morganella morganii bacteriocins were determined. For this purpose two strains (115 and 137) which after mitomycin C induction produced bacteriocins in high titer were chosen. The influence of several physical and chemical factors such as: heating and storage at various temperatures, a freezing and thawing, an influence of buffered fluid of different pH, and digestion by trypsin, papain and lysozyme were investigated. Range of bacteriocin activity against various microorganisms and the ability to diffuse in agar were also determined. It was found on the basis of the results obtained that two bacteriocins showed different features. Bacteriocin "115" was thermostable, sensitive to proteolytic enzymes, able to diffuse in 1.5% agar. Bacteriocin designated "137" was thermolabile, intensive to proteolytic digestion, and incapable to diffuse in 1.5% agar. Activity of both bacteriocins was reduced after freezing and thawing. They were both insensitive to lysozyme digestion. Storage at room temperature reduced their activity faster than storage at the temperature of refrigerator. Their activity was completely stopped at pH 3.03, and significantly at pH 5.08 while environment of pH ranged from 7.08 to 11.0 did not influence their activity. Both bacteriocins showed narrow range of activity limited to the growth inhibition of sensitive strains belonging to Morganella morganii genus. 相似文献

Of the 24 strains of Bordetella pertussis examined, 2 produced bacteriocins that inhibited the growth of all but 2 other strains of this species. The two strains producing the bacteriocin and the two resistant strains were rough, whereas all susceptible strains were smooth. The bacteriocin was not active on the B. parapertussis or B. bronchiseptica strains tested. These bacteriocins appeared to be protein in nature, since they were heat-labile and partially inactivated by trypsin. They were antigenic but the neutralizing antibodies did not precipitate the antigens. Absorption of the antiserum with homologous cell suspensions removed the agglutinating, but not the neutralizing, antibody. 相似文献

Characterization of a bacteriocin produced by a newly isolated Bacillus sp. Strain 8 A 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
AIMS: The aim of this research was to investigate the production of bacteriocins by Bacillus spp. isolated from native soils of south of Brazil. METHODS AND RESULTS: A bacteriocin produced by the bacterium Bacillus cereus 8 A was identified. The antimicrobial activity was produced starting at the exponential growth phase, although maximum activity was at stationary growth phase. A crude bacteriocin obtained from culture supernatant fluid was inhibitory to a broad range of indicator strains, including Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium perfringens, and several species of Bacillus. Clinically relevant bacteria such as Streptococcus bovis and Micrococcus luteus were also inhibited. Bacteriocin was stable at 80 degrees C, but the activity was lost when the temperature reached 87 degrees C. It was resistant to the proteolytic action of trypsin and papain, but sensitive to proteinase K and pronase E.Bacteriocin activity was observed in the pH range of 6.0-9.0. CONCLUSIONS: A bacteriocin produced by Bacillus cereus 8 A was characterized, presenting a broad spectrum of activity and potential for use as biopreservative in food. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF STUDY: The identification of a bacteriocin with large activity spectrum, including pathogens and spoilage microorganisms, addresses an important aspect of food safety. 相似文献

Bacteriocin-like substances were commonly produced by slow-growing Rhizobium japonicum and cowpea rhizobia on an L-arabinose medium. Antagonism between strains of R. japonicum was not detected in vitro; however, such strains were often sensitive to some bacteriocins produced by cowpea rhizobia. Inhibitory zones (2 to 8 mm from colony margins), produced by 58 of 66 R. japonicum test strains, were reproducibly detected with Corynebacterium nebraskense as an indicator. Quantitative production was not related to symbiotic properties of effective strains, since nine noninfective strains and one ineffective strain produced bacteriocin. Eight R. japonicum strains that did not produce bacteriocin nevertheless formed effective nodules on soybeans. R. japonicum strains that produced bacteriocin in vitro had no antagonistic effect on nonproducer strains during soybean nodulation. Under controlled conditions, a nonproducer (3I1b135) predominated over a bacteriocin producer (3I1b6) when inoculated at 1:1 and 1:9 ratios. Depending on the particular ratio, up to 38% of the total nodules formed were infected with mixed combinations. The bacteriocin(s) had a restricted host range and antibiotic-like properties which included the ability to be dialyzed and resistance to heat (75 to 80 degrees C, 30 min), Pronase, proteinase K, trypsin, ribonuclease, and deoxyribonuclease. R. japonicum strains representing genetic, serological, cultural, and geographic diversity were differentiated into three groups on the basis of bacteriocin production. 相似文献

Lactic acid bacteria isolated from vacuum-packaged fresh meat stored at 4°C were shown to produce antagonistic substances active against closely related bacteria. Growth medium, pH and growth temperature all affected the production of the inhibitory substances. Ten strains including aciduric Lactobacillus -type organisms, Carnobacterium spp. and Leuconostoc spp. were selected that produced protein-aceous substances that caused inhibition of indicator strains. These were considered to be bacteriocins or bacteriocin-like compounds based on their inactivation with protease, generally narrow spectra of antibacterial activity and bactericidal or bacte-riostatic modes of action. Activity was not lost from supernatant fluids as a result of heat treatment at 62°C for 30 min, except for the Leuconostoc strains. Inhibitory spectra of some strains included Enterococcus spp. and Listeria monocytogenes . Some strains were of interest because their inhibitory substances were detected in the supernatant fluid early in the growth cycle. The inhibitory substances differed in characteristics between strains and there is evidence that more than one bacteriocin-like substance may be produced by some strains. 相似文献

Bacteriocins from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a diverse group of antimicrobial proteins/peptides, offering potential as biopreservatives, and exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity at low concentrations along with thermal as well as pH stability in foods. High bacteriocin production usually occurs in complex media. However, such media are expensive for an economical production process. For effective use of bacteriocins as food biopreservatives, there is a need to have heat-stable wide spectrum bacteriocins produced with high-specific activity in food-grade medium. The main hurdles concerning the application of bacteriocins as food biopreservatives is their low yield in food-grade medium and time-consuming, expensive purification processes, which are suitable at laboratory scale but not at industrial scale. So, the present review focuses on the bacteriocins production using complex and food-grade media, which mainly emphasizes on the bacteriocin producer strains, media used, different production systems used and effect of different fermentation conditions on the bacteriocin production. In addition, this review emphasizes the purification processes designed for efficient recovery of bacteriocins at small and large scale. 相似文献

AIMS: To screen bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in 52 type and reference strains, which have not previously been studied, with respect to bacteriocins, and to characterize the presence of bacteriocins. METHODS AND RESULTS: Only Enterococcus faecium JCM 5804T showed bacteriocin-like activity. It inhibited the growth of Lactobacillus spp., Enterococcus spp., Clostridium spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and vancomycin resistant Enterococcus (VRE). However, it was not effective against Gram-negative strains, Weisella spp., Leuconostoc spp., Lactococcus spp., or methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The inhibitory activity of Ent. faecium JCM 5804T was inactivated by proteinase K, trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, and papain, but not by lysozyme, lipase, catalase, or beta-glucosidase. The inhibitory activity was stable at 100 degrees C for 30 min, and had a pH range from 2 to 10. The molecular weight of the partially purified bacteriocin(s) was approx. 4.5 kDa, according to tricine-sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing methods identified three different types of bacteriocins produced by Ent. faecium JCM 5804T, enterocin A, enterocin B, and enterocin P-like bacteriocin. CONCLUSION: Enterococcus faecium JCM 5804T produced three different types of bacteriocins, and they inhibited LAB and pathogens. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF STUDY: This is the first report of enterocin A, enterocin B, and enterocin P-like bacteriocin, detected in Ent. faecium JCM 5804T among LAB type and reference strains. 相似文献

Lactobacillus plantarum JJ18 and Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum JJ60, probiotics from idli batter, produce bacteriocins JJ18 and JJ60 having a wide spectrum of activity. After optimising the environmental conditions for bacteriocin production the effect of various media components was determined. Maximum bacteriocin production was observed in MRS broth, pH 6.4 at 37 °C after 36 h. Tryptone (as nitrogen source) and glucose (as carbon source) are required for optimal production of bacteriocins JJ18 and JJ60. Activity was not affected by surfactants like Triton X-100, Tween 80 and Tween 20 or by treatment with NaCl, urea and EDTA. Protease treatment resulted in complete loss of activity of the partially purified bacteriocins JJ18 and JJ60, while lipase and α-amylase had no effect, indicating that the bacteriocin is a simple protein. Tris tricine SDS-PAGE electrophoresis depicted a single band of less than 3.5 kDa. However, the strain Lactobacillus plantarum JJ18 was inhibited by bacteriocin JJ60 and Lactobacillus plantarum JJ60 by bacteriocin JJ18, whereas no inhibition was observed against the respective producer strains, indicating that the two bacteriocins are different. The bacteriocins remained active over a wide range of pH and temperature. The bacteriocins were able to adsorb onto producer and target cells, Lactobacillus plantarum and Listeria monocytogenes and differentially in the presence of various surfactants, salts and solvents. A bactericidal mode of action was observed against Listeria monocytogenes. Given their wide spectrum of activity against various pathogens, the bacteriocins JJ18 and JJ60 can be applied as bio-preservatives in the food industry. 相似文献
